An Easter vacation in West Yellowstone may look a little different than ones you are used to, but that’s ok, everyone’s routine deserves a little shakeup every once in a while, and we at Sweet Home Montana assure you, you will love the differences. Sometimes the same old, same old can feel like a rut, rather than a treasured tradition, and as you explore all the ways your Easter celebration will be different while appreciating those traditions you aren’t willing to skip, the comforts of our holiday hideaways will add an extra layer of wonderful to a vacation that will only get more loved with each passing day. This guide to planning an Easter 2025 getaway you will never forget may lead to a new tradition, that of spending every Easter in Montana with us!
The Preparations
If you are traveling with kids, there are some very important questions that you must answer for them, including how will the Easter Bunny know where they are? You can reassure them that Mr. Hoppy will know exactly where they are during their spring adventures, and then, when you get here, you can hop on over to Market Place, located at 22 Madison Avenue, and pick up all the supplies needed for an Easter basket they will never forget. This is a smaller market, but they always surprise us at how well stocked they are, and the items found on the shelves are of good quality, ensuring that parents—um, we mean the Easter Bunny—will feel good about what they are giving the kiddos. You can also get eggs for boiling at the Market Place, and just as you do at home, boil them and decorate them with your favorite tiny travelers.
Sunrise Moments
At home, you may be used to waking for sunrise service, and there are many local churches in West Yellowstone that will welcome you to their own services, but what if this was the year you changed things up and spent this sunrise communing with nature? The balcony or back deck of your Sweet Home Montana holiday hideaway may offer the perfect spot to view that sunrise, and as you sit and savor the serenity and peace of a Yellowstone sky at dawn, these few quiet moments will soothe your soul and calm your heart. If you don’t want to skip your tradition altogether, it is extremely likely your home church streams their service, and our escapes provide high-speed internet for quick and seamless streaming.
A Meal to Remember
They haven’t quite released any info on restaurants serving Easter brunch as of yet this year, but going off previous years, we believe that not only will Running Bear Pancake House be open and serving their regular menu, but they will also serve some dishes that are Easter inspired. Located at 538 Madison Avenue and providing a menu filled with all your favorite comfort foods (You MUST try their cinnamon roll cakes for a sweet start to your day), mom will be thrilled that she doesn’t have to cook, kids will be thrilled to try those cinnamon roll cakes, and no one will have to worry about leaving the restaurant still feeling hungry.
Hoppy Easter!
For many who stay with us, exploring all the comforts offered in our Sweet Home Montana retreats, and at Easter, this is even more true. Our spaces are designed to add serenity to your vacation adventures, and as you sit in front of a roaring fire filling your kids’ Easter baskets with the goodies you bought earlier, you may be feeling especially serene, especially if you are doing so while sipping from a glass of wine. Watch your favorite Easter movies on state of the art televisions, munching on the candy you placed in your own basket, (no one is too old for an Easter basket) and maybe take a much needed nap after your early awakening. The Easter Bunny will find plenty of places to hide the colorful eggs you decorated previously, and if the weather doesn’t cooperate, hide them inside and stay warm and happy while your kiddos burn off some excess energy. Your regular Easter traditions can all be followed at home in our Montana Easter escapes. And who knows? You may find that traveling to West Yellowstone over this holiday is destined to be your newest tradition.
But Wait, There’s More!
